Publishing master data using IBM MDM Publisher

The IBM MDM Publisher component enables you to create data subscriptions for all, or subsets of, the master data in your InfoSphere MDM system.

The MDM Publisher enables bulk loads of master data as well as ongoing synchronization. The synchronization is performed using the Apache Kafka messaging platform. Once you configure your data subscriptions using a web user interface, MDM Publisher generates and deploys the necessary data movement capabilities.

Depending on your data publishing requirements, you can set up multiple MDM Publisher subscriptions with different data scopes. This provides you with the flexibility to replicate your master data to the necessary application instances.

MDM Publisher supports publishing InfoSphere MDM Advanced Edition or Standard Edition data to a number of different target endpoints.
